Concept Simulation 2.3 offers a useful review of the concepts central to this problem. An astronaut on a distant planet wants to
determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +12.9 m/s and measures a time
of 24.8 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet?
(positive = up, negative = down)
Number
-48.2
Units
m/s^2
A spacecraft starts from rest, and makes a journey to a destination 355000 km from its starting point. It does so by accelerating at a constant rate of 14.76 m/s^2 up to the midpoint of the journey, and then decelerates at the same constant rate of 14.76 m/s^2 for the second half of the journey, ending at rest. How long did the entire journey take?
a.
3 hr 20 min
b.
2 hr 43 min
c.
1 hr 56 min
d.
6 hr 41 min
Please do help me with this please. It is a physics question. Please, i promise to give a perfect feedback to you.

- Why is the following situation possible? Emily challenges her friend David to catch a $1 bill as follows. She holds the bill vertically as shown in figure P2.29 with the center of the bill between but not touching David's index finger and thumb. Without warning, Emily releases the bill. David catches the bill without moving his hands downwards. David reaction time is equal to the average human reaction time. Avg human reaction time is .2s. Dollar bill is approx 15.5cm in length.

- I looked at the motion diagram and thought it was representing an object accelerating to the right and getting faster. I thought A and B were right, but my first thought was that C looked like it could be moving to the right and slowing down, could you explain why this is wrong?
